TokenTip

TokenTip is a decentralized tipping platform for creators that allows you to tip other creators with their tokens. Our vision for this is to allow anyone - whether they are an experienced crypto user, degen or just a person with no experience at all - to arrive at TokenTip, find a creator and tip them in crypto.

Our design ethos is to utilitise existing proven blockchain technology and also selected latest and emerging blockchain technology to ensure a fluid and efficient experience for all users.

During the development of TokenTip we thought long and hard on what tools and technologies to use that would facilitate our vision of a "web2" like experience for users.

• Create React App: We chose this because it was easy for us to bootstrap a React app quickly
• Passkeys: We wanted to experiment with passkeys as an authentication mechanism for both each of use for users but also to create wallets too, given that this is quickly becoming a mainstream approach to removing the use of passwords
• World ID: We've been interested in this product personally for some time. We were keen to add proof of personhood to the login sequence
• TransactionKit: This React library offers a collection of React components that allow you to create Account Abstraction wallets and make transactions with minimal effort. It also exposes a bunch of hooks and utilities to help developers build quickly. It uses the Etherspot SDK behind the scenes as a wallet provider
• Paymaster: We attempted to use a paymaster here, but unfortunately didn't get around to it. We have left the code in where this would have happened. This was also provided by Etherspot
• Smart Contracts: We authored two sets of smart contracts in order to help facilitate an on-chain lookup of data. One version was written in Stylus which is an ENS registry and the other is a Foundry project which is a username to address mapping which can be queried
